    Sorry but these proportions did not work for me. Felt that the fenugreek and toor dal proportions could be reduced. It was too thick and bitter. Anyway. Glad it worked out for everyone else!

    Hi, I tried to-day. It came well and nice in taste. I took 6-7 Green Chilly. Once the ground paste is made and water is added and heat for 5-6 minutes and taste it , then accordingly add the curd quantity. Final stage you can add the 2 more red chilly as per your taste.
